Hey Bret, great news on the 5 yr mark! Dr Berd told me melanoma normally would return before 5yrs as it is usually very aggressive, so you are looking great. I will be 12 yrs clear next Weds. But I still have chest pain from the surgery!
Take care, Mark

WOW 12 year Congrats
Mine said 10 year But I like the 5 idea better
chest pain ? Is that from taking Nodes?

where was your original site? I assume your was in invasive
how many node had it spread to ?
How many time did the have to wide the margins?

What treatment did they do

Original site was top of my head. Too many years working outdoors? Full head of hair too. Came back to lungs 4 yrs later. Not sure how many nodes on my left lung. But it was cut up pretty good, lost bout 50%. right lung, maybe two 3-4mm nodes. Surgery 6 months apart. Dr Berd treated me with vaccine he created while at Jefferson University Hosp in Phila. Vaccine was made from the tumor on my left lung after surgery. It was a non-FDA approved vaccine at the time, a clinical trial. I was a lab rat on the tenth floor of a chemistry type of lab at 10th & Walnut in Philly. Dr Berd is nationally known for his treatment for melanoma & ovarian cancer. He was using vaccines before it became common place. He created M-Vax while working with Avax.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avax_Technologies
